Her 3Lz-3T at Skate America should have been downgraded. Her jump technique is really odd. She landed all of her jumps almost always pitched forward. That's why it's impossible to tag the 3T on after the two 2A attempts. Her 3T after the 3Lz was a toe-axel, on top of a cheated landing.
As she fills out more, she will never be able to land the second triple cleanly.

She has the look, but not the technique to carry her forward.

Surely you jest?

Adelina is a future champion......your favorite is better off in school.

I consider her even though she gets on almost every podium as failures, considering her skating ability, you would know that had she made not all those silly mistakes, she would not be behind all those other skaters, yes Adelina is very talented but its her being inconsistent that is a letdown for me .

Concidering her skating potential yes, but part also of the athlete's abilities is to learn to compete and bring the practice into competition which will come with time as she is very young.

But people now are agreeing and maybe because of how she is dealing with her age maybe she'll be good in her 20's -post Sochi maybe post peyongheng.

Oh give me a break. She is good now. The 3Z-3T is still pretty rare and she landed a beautiful one that got +GOE. She was a brain fart away from winning the silver medal and was beaten by two error-free performances. At SA she landed 2 3-3's, every triple except the axel, and high level spins. She is right on the cusp of doing great things.

Lots of fans said Mao or Yuna could have won the Torino Olympics - but look what happened the following season. They were both beaten at Worlds by Miki.

Miki with her performances from the 2007 Worlds would have also easily won the Torino Olympics, and Mao with a major mistake in the short and several mistakes in the long still nearly won those same Worlds herself. So I dont see what this shows to be honest.

Adelina Sotnikova = Maria Butyrskaya 2.0, Adelina will peak in her 25-28+ years of age
